Second Life is for Paedophiles

Well, not quite. But I’ve always felt there was something intrinsically sinister about creating an image of yourself and spending hours and hours looking for weird friends when you could just be making new, real (and possibly not so weird) ones. Anyhoo, it appears paedophile activity is happening in that some adults are posing as [...]

Google to bring the pain to Facebook & Co.

As discussed within these pages over two weeks ago it seemed a little nonsensical that Google should be asked to value Facebook at $18 billion when the social network is making relatively little cash. It seems that Google quickly came to same conclusion and have acted fast to put together a social networking platform that [...]

Piste Off

So the world’s officially largest, and unofficially messiest snowboarding festival has set out the perimeters for next year’s carnage. Happening in Mayrhofen, Austria between 31 March – 6 April. Snowbombing is the only snowboarding event where you possibly have to pack a larger suitcase for the fancy dress than you do the warm snow gear. [...]

Thriller Goes Killer

So Jacko’s after a comeback. Having fled Bahrain after wussing out of a record deal with the Prince of Bahrain and failing to record two contractual albums, he’s done a lot of thinking, dug deep into the crates and got in a load of shit hot remixers to put a 21st century spin on 4 [...]

Speakerdog and his trainer Ben The Illustrator have been popping up all over the place in the last few years with their colourful, ethereal landscapes from [...]

WTF?!? P Diddy to get 50/50 share of Ciroc Vodka profits?

My head is spinning even though I’m pretty sure there’s is no way in hell this is right but according to Yahoo! News Ciroc Vodka’s parent company Diageo, has not only given the green light to endorsing this joker – they’re actually giving him half the profits! The Alan Partridge of hip hop (albeit with [...]

PS3 winding up/down to ‘digital media center’ status. Exciting times ahead?

Last Thursday news came through that Sony was selling its PS3 chips to rival Toshiba and is no longer interested in developing the technology further. Yesterday we heard that PlayStation is currently begging games developers not to forget about its console (having previously taken a very arrogant stance towards them), and now it’s being reported [...]

Xbox Sneakers

These are pretty horrible. But its footwear, and games. So it goes in. Madeby Heelys Gamer. Don’t have anything else to say.

Facebook and MySpace to hit peak by around 2009

Last Wednesday I wrote on these pages that sooner or later Facebook was probably in for a  rude awakening due to the inevitable drop in users once everyone got bored. Quite frankly, the interface is so dull I immediately got bored first time I looked at it and quickly left, forgot all about it and [...]
